Why would you have music playing while you read?

ITT: pleb as fuck

>> No.2736300

Looks like everyone here agrees it needs to be instrumental, or in a language you can't understand at all.

I listen to Jean Sibelius, Aphex Twin, Nightmares on Wax, Charles Mingus, and the occasional Thelonious Monk

>> No.2736308

Post-rock or Ambient.

Brian Eno, Braids, El Ten Eleven, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, etc.

what a fucking idiotic trip...do you really listen to that garbage? medieval metal...lol... i'm glad i looked it up, all your opinions are now void

anyway
just because you have ADD and cannot cope with background noise does not mean the rest of us can't enjoy music when reading or writing...especially when writing. songs have the ability to draw out certain vague emotions which can be used to fuel your prose and give it aesthetic direction.

It's fine for writing. But if you're listening to music while reading, you're altering the intended experience. It's incredibly disrespectful. And it's stupid. Why are you reading the author in the first place if you don't want to experience the book as they intended?
